[ Upstream commit 672a2c87c83649fb0167202342ce85af9a3b4f1c ]

It is invalid to call del_gendisk() when disk-&gt;queue is NULL. Fix error
handling in axon_ram_probe() to avoid doing that.

Also del_gendisk() does not drop a reference to gendisk allocated by
alloc_disk(). That has to be done by put_disk(). Add that call where
needed.

<title>powerpc/xics: Work around limitations of OPAL XICS priority handling</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a69e2fb70350a66f91175cd2625f1e8215c5b6e9 upstream.

The CPPR (Current Processor Priority Register) of a XICS interrupt
presentation controller contains a value N, such that only interrupts
with a priority "more favoured" than N will be received by the CPU,
where "more favoured" means "less than". So if the CPPR has the value 5
then only interrupts with a priority of 0-4 inclusive will be received.

In theory the CPPR can support a value of 0 to 255 inclusive.
In practice Linux only uses values of 0, 4, 5 and 0xff. Setting the CPPR
to 0 rejects all interrupts, setting it to 0xff allows all interrupts.
The values 4 and 5 are used to differentiate IPIs from external
interrupts. Setting the CPPR to 5 allows IPIs to be received but not
external interrupts.

The CPPR emulation in the OPAL XICS implementation only directly
supports priorities 0 and 0xff. All other priorities are considered
equivalent, and mapped to a single priority value internally. This means
when using icp-opal we can not allow IPIs but not externals.

This breaks Linux's use of priority values when a CPU is hot unplugged.
After migrating IRQs away from the CPU that is being offlined, we set
the priority to 5, meaning we still want the offline CPU to receive
IPIs. But the effect of the OPAL XICS emulation's use of a single
priority value is that all interrupts are rejected by the CPU. With the
CPU offline, and not receiving IPIs, we may not be able to wake it up to
bring it back online.

The first part of the fix is in icp_opal_set_cpu_priority(). CPPR values
of 0 to 4 inclusive will correctly cause all interrupts to be rejected,
so we pass those CPPR values through to OPAL. However if we are called
with a CPPR of 5 or greater, the caller is expecting to be able to allow
IPIs but not external interrupts. We know this doesn't work, so instead
of rejecting all interrupts we choose the opposite which is to allow all
interrupts. This is still not correct behaviour, but we know for the
only existing caller (xics_migrate_irqs_away()), that it is the better
option.

The other part of the fix is in xics_migrate_irqs_away(). Instead of
setting priority (CPPR) to 0, and then back to 5 before migrating IRQs,
we migrate the IRQs before setting the priority back to 5. This should
have no effect on an ICP backend with a working set_priority(), and on
icp-opal it means we will keep all interrupts blocked until after we've
finished doing the IRQ migration. Additionally we wait for 5ms after
doing the migration to make sure there are no IRQs in flight.

commit 9b256714979fad61ae11d90b53cf67dd5e6484eb upstream.

The IPIs come in as HVI not EE, so we need to test the appropriate
SRR1 bits. The encoding is such that it won't have false positives
on P7 and P8 so we can just test it like that. We also need to handle
the icp-opal variant of the flush.

commit 9728a7c8ab2f7a1c8d5c95278d2e4f4ac1285385 upstream.

The icp-opal call is missing the code from icp-native to recover
interrupts snatched by KVM. Without that, when running KVM, we can
get into a situation where an interrupt is lost and the CPU stuck
with an elevated CPPR.

Also harden replay by always checking the return from opal_int_eoi().

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.
